this was the story the guy posted (occured back in July)...
"Today i was going to change the oil in my R and our shop has 4 lifts three are 2 post one one is a drive up ramp style. 2 of the two post lifts have auto locks one is rather old and you have to lock the arms your self. So today in a rush i put my car and just as i was pulling on the drain plug i head a low growl sound i turned just in time to see one of the arms slidding out from under the lift point of the car. i jumped out of the way just in time to watch the R fall off the lift at full hight "6'" and crash on its side on the floor then roll over on its roof... All because i was in a hurry and did not go and lock the arms to prevent them from moving.. the chassis is badly damaged not one body panel survived.. The rear suspension is badly bent along with the trailing arms on both sides, 3 of the 4 jdm 16" wheels are bent etc.."
